All India Hindu Mahasabha vice-president Sadhvi Deva Thakur surrendered herself to the police in Haryana on Friday after a case was registered against her for killing a woman and injuring four others during a wedding celebration in Karnal.

Karnal city police have said that they will take her to Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh to recover the weapons used in the crime and go to Varanasi for her vehicle. Besides conducting raids at various places, the Karnal police had issued a look-out circular at the airport against her and the private bodyguards.
